Abstract
Several efforts have been made in the direction of structural reformation of the health sector in Bangladesh since its independence. Starting from the family planning programme in the 1970s and 1980s to reproductive health in the post-International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) era, the country has launched comprehensive programmes to reach the specific goals of health sector. The paradigm shifts from the family planning to reproductive rights are also reflected in the health interventions/programmes of the country.

The UN coordinated an International Conference on Population Development (ICPD) in Cairo in September 1994 to discuss a variety of population issues including immigration, infant mortality, birth control, family planning and women education. Its resulting Programme of Action forms the steering document of United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).
